Another success hosting the 4th, bi-annual AutomataCon at the
Morris Museum! Just over 300 attendees were here for a busy weekend
of activities for collectors, makers, curators, historians and every
variety of automaton enthusiast, who enjoyed over 20 presentations,
workshops, speakers and subjects, all directly related to the field.

Representatives from all around the country, plus Canada to China
to Scotland and the Netherlands, were all participating, making
the weekend fly by and chock-full of information for novice to
expert levels.
